Getting better every week

I started playing here in November. We try to play 2 or 3 times a month. The conditions have continued to improve week after week. The greens and tees are in the best shape yet. There are tons of traps (need to add some rakes) to challenge your sand game. All in all, I really like this course, so much that I am thinking about joining it.

This Course Continues to Improve

I have only been playing again for 3 months after a 27 year hiatus. Silverthorn is our regular mid week course that we play locally. Since November all elements of the course have improved. The greens are excellent, Fairways are much better than average and the tee boxes are good. There are a ton of bunkers everywhere so it your sand game will get a good workout if your aim is rusty.

All around course

This course is on the come up. I play in a Sunday morning league and the course gets better every week. Great value for the money and I definitely recommend to anyone looking to play in the area. Not breathtaking but it’s a very solid course. Bunkers need work but doesn’t make a difference to me because I suck out of the bunker either way.

Over priced

Green fees have gone from $20s to $50+ after overseeding with rye grass. Yes it’s greener but fairways are very uneven and very rough. Fairways are still sparse and mostly dirt. Given the time of year a $30 green fee would be more appropriate. Greens are typically in great shape at this course

greed and inflation landed here

course overseeded with rye grass to make it look green however fairways are still sparse and extremely bumpy and rough. Winter rate for a course in this shape should be NO higher than $30. current rates are way over inflated and therefore drive golf value down.

All fluff not worth $50+ green fees

New managements idea of improving the course is to throw down rye grass and watch it grow. From a distance it may appear nice but fairways are still patchy and rough. Course should be priced in the low $30s for the higher winter rates but $50s is way over reaching for its condition. If you’re going to spend $50 for green fees there are several courses in the area you should play at in much better condition.

Greens were perfect. Fairways could use an overseed. Some slow players ahead but an enjoyable round. Will play again.

The Kid

New owner seems to be making strides, however for a course with a lot of sand the sand was not great. The driving range is in dire need of new range balls, the oak trees on the perimeter are in need of trimming and Spanish moss removal (happy trees happy course) these trees are very close in to fairways so if you have an errant shot good luck getting any recovery shot back swing.

Playing at Silverthorn

Silverthorn fairways and green are good. A couple of greens and fairways need a little work. But overall it is great to play.
